and now we're all even-steven again! abi brings up the rear on turning a year older, but she doesn't seem to mind! she still gets her day to be woken up by her family singing "Happy Birthday" and gifts to open! she still gets to bring treats to school and have granny join her for lunch! and most important she still gets to be the oldest!!

celebration central

my greatest blessings

ie: chaos creators

must remind myself

"So frequently we mistakenly believe that our children need more things, when in reality their silent pleadings are simply for more of our time." Thomas S. Monson

"There is no other resource to compare with prayer. To think that each of us may approach our Father in Heaven . . . for individual help and guidance, for strength and faith, is a miracle in and of itself." President Gordon B. Hinckley

"Our friends should be companions who inspire us, who help us rise to our best." Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

"Often we do not know what we can endure until after a trial of our faith." Elder Robert D. Hales

"You and I should count our blessings, but we should also make them count!" Elder Neal A. Maxwell

“When obedience ceases to be an irritant and becomes our quest, in that moment God will endow us with power.” President Ezra Taft Benson
